Abstract

The independent Muslim kingdom of Malwa was established by Dilawar Khan Ghuri in the last decade of the fourteenth century. From 1401-02 to 1531, Malwa was under the rule of two dynasties, the Ghuris and the Khaljis. With the exception of the accession of Sultan Ghiyasuddin Khalji (1469- 1501) after the death of Sultan Mahmud Khalji I, there was a succession dispute at the death of every Sultan of Malwa. The succession dispute in the case of two sons of Sultan Ghiyasuddin Khalji is significant because of active involvement of the harem of the Sultan.
